Pour ceux qui ont un scanner, beaucoup d'action hier sur 410.2625 Mhz, fréquence 2 (CCTI) de la police de Montréal. Anti-émeute en simplex sur 410.6625 Mhz. Plusieurs véhicules personnels des pompiers de la caserne 18 ont été incendiés. Quelques photos des véhicules de pompiers endommagés...

In case you didn't know, Bell has started to throttle bandwidth for Peer to Peer and encrypted connections (including VPN). This also affects third party DSL providers (resellers) such as Teksavvy or Electronicbox, not just Bell Sympatico customers. http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/92915...

Thank you all for your input, it is much appreciated.

Hi folks, I was just wondering why some people on Youtube (among other places) always refer to the French army as one that surrenders, pulls out white flags, doesn't want to fight, etc. Is there any truth to this or if it's just something that was made up to discredit the French in general ...

Thank you for your replies, My apologies for not reading everything I should have when I registered on army.ca.

My 2 cents here, just to show the other side of the picture, no pun intended ;) A few years ago I worked for a cabling company that was subcontracted to install Look TV (microwave) antennas on buildings around Montreal and when Look had financial problems a few years back they pretty much...

Yes, thank you for the pictures, it is nice to see our soldiers in afghanistan. Luis

Hi folks, first post for me here :) I feel more sad about the GG not allowed to go to Afghanistan to support the troops there. The GG's entourage must have had contacts with the Brits on that one, and I don't think the Queen was offended. Luis
